To all whom it mag/concern:

Be it known that we, JAY P. Bonne and @Hannes M. Yonne, citizens ot the United States, and residents ot Helena, in the county ot Phillips and State ot Arkansas, new and useful lmprovements inPaperceding Devices for Typel/Vriting Machines, of which is a specification.

Our invention, relates to improvements in type-writing machines and more particularly, to the paper t'eed mechanism whereby a lcontinuous web ot' paper may be ted vto the platen and has for an object to provide a simple', cheap and eiicient attachment tor typewriters for holding a roll or web ot paper, feeding itto the platen and severing the web intosheets ot the desired size.

lvl/'ith' this and other objects in view our invention consists in certainncvel Jfeatures yot' construction, arrangement and combination ot parts as will be hereinafter tnlly described and pointed out in 'the claims, reterence being had to the drawing in which#-V Figure l. is a perspective view showing our improvements as applied and in use on ing which shows .vent-ion 1t wrll be a typewrlting machine.

endsv of rod .C ot suitable shape but pret erably rectangular. This rod has adjacent vits ends for a suitable distance a series ot ratchet teeth C which are engaged by a spring pawl D .flexibly mounted on the hub D 'forming an integral part 'ot adisk which has the central inwardly projecting trunnions D3 which tit slidably on the rod C but are not revoluble thereon. These trunnions project into the ends ot the-paper roll E which has a hollow cylindrical core E, the trunnions centering the paper roll, and the disks holding it in propery position on the rod C by reason otthepressnre ot the spring pawls engaging the ratchet teeth and forcing the two disks tow-ard each other. To the standards A at a, point approxithe center 'of the platen. a. str'ip of Jdat metall? is rigidly connected at its of said. strip being ends,l -the inner edge ll" smooth or serrated like a saw edge forming for the paper. To

a cutting or tearing edge attached the guides G thisv cutter bar are made ot wire riveted atene end to the lower tace ot the cutter bar then bent downwardly and then rearwardly but toward the center ot the machine. They are then bent and extend vertically as at G terminating in eyes G2 or rounded. ends.

As stated the paper roll is supported on the trnnnions projecting inwardly trom the disks D2 and said roll is released line by line or space by space ,as it is 'ted into the typewriting machine by means ot the ratchet the` same manner as ordinary sheets opaper are ted, except that the feeding is continuous. The disks U2 which hold, the paper web or 'roll in position are them! selves held in position by the metal spring pawls B which engage the ratchet teeth on' Athe rod these pawls being moifablc to right or lett as required to keep tbe paper in the proper position 'or 'feeding writing machine and maintaining a unif torni tension in the teeding process.

As before stated, the brackets E are pivn oted to the standards h so tl'iat the paper reel may be lowered toward the iront o` the machine to allow the operator to exa1nine or adjust tbe rear mechanism of the ina chine without rising troni a sitting position or turning the machine to bring the back to the Vtr nt; the stop' pins a prevent the swinging or tippe"- portionof the'reel car-- cylinder of the into the type ica Mtb Pier from falling :fm-ward upon the front parl; 0f the machine to which il;- ifs4 altacheil, While the `stops or pins a. will ,he engaged by the notches B in he'rear face of 'ha brackets to prevent said lnacln'ls .and ihn paper reel from falling lia this rear of lhaI mauliine.
